Yoga
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
Yoga is a system of exercises for attaining bodily or mental control and well-being that originated out of ancient India. Many variations of yoga exist, but the styles embraced as a potential treatment for myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome patients tend to be more gentle and restorative in practice.

By Chakrapod: "This is a restorative, inward-focused sequence for yogis with chronic fatigue syndrome especially, but great for anyone looking for a relaxed, healing practice. On an energetic level, we'll systematically open up our chakras (energy centers in your spine) to bring more life energy to the solar plexus, our innate source of inner power and strength."[5]
